39. THE CORNER THAT HELD THEM by Sylvia Townsend Warner. A 1948 historical novel set in a small 14th-century Norfolk convent is something you might easily overlook, were it not for the Backlisted episode that convinced me to give it a go. Very glad I did. www.backlisted.fm/episodes/242...

Some nice job news! Looking forward to joining the @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social team as well as returning to @headofzeus.bsky.social ✨📚

Thinking of the 3 women & their community who farmed this place through & beyond WWII, under incredibly trying conditions (including live fire, as their fields were used in training for D-Day & Arnhem) with such a sense of camaraderie & humour. I spoke to a chap who knew them, this week ... 1/2

"We all have forests in our minds. Forests unexplored, unending. Each of us gets lost in the forest, every night, alone.” —From the introduction to “Vaster Than Empires and More Slow” in The Wind’s Twelve Quarters

I got to write a short piece – On Compost – for the LRB. (If you know me irl, you’ll understand that this is a happy thing)

Happy Easter from All Saints, Marazion

'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the women’s liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.

Recent reading - lots of notes made! 🌱 @stephenmossauthor.bsky.social

One of my favourite books of last year is out! I love it so much - I'm about to re-read it, why not, a guaranteed treat:

Pause, breathe, reset. Whenever you feel overwhelm creeping over you, return to your breathing and come back to the present moment. Even a couple of minutes of mindful breathing can ease the anxiety. May your day be calm. ☺️ #Cornish #beach #nature #sky #sea #ocean #calm #peace #photography #life

🍃 We're delighted to say that the #WainwrightPrize is now on Bluesky! Celebrating the finest nature and conservation writing, we're excited to spotlight a whole host of brilliant books in 2025. Follow along! 💚

I think this is going to be my book of the year. Just exquisite. I could underline every sentence. Don’t know whether to seethe with jealousy or just bow down and worship. Andrew Miller. Genius.

Also book out: Sound Writing
